Ruwaid Rahmanzai

Ruwaid Rahmanzai was a Pakistani Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam member. In August 1947, he attempted to assassinate Pakistani Governor-General Muhammad Ali Jinnah with a shovel when a mob of Islamists stormed the Pakistan Muslim League conference, but he was restrained by guards. When asked by Jinnah why he wanted to kill him, Rahmanzai reasoned that it was because Jinnah had extended rights to Christians and women, and because he felt that Pakistan was not going to become an Islamic country. Jinnah told Rahmanzai to grow up, abandon his ignorant and foolish views, and serve Pakistan.
